Job 14

1 Ti tao a maiyanak iti babai, agbiag laeng iti sumagmamano nga al-aldaw ken napnoan ti riribuk.

For a mortal born of a woman [is] short lived, and full of wrath.

2 Agrusing isuna manipud iti daga a kasla maysa a sabong ket makeltay; agpukaw isuna a kasla aniniwan ken saan nga agpaut.

Or he falls like a flower that has bloomed; and he departs like a shadow, and can’t continue.

3 Kumitkitaka kadi iti aniaman kadagitoy? Ikuyognak kadi iti pangukoman?

Hast you not taken account even of him, and caused him to enter into judgment before you?

4 Siasino ti makaiyeg ti maysa a banag a nadalus manipud ti maysa a banag a narugit? Awan.

For who shall be pure from uncleanness? not even one;

5 Naikeddengen dagiti al-aldaw ti tao; Adda kenka dagiti bilang dagiti bulbulanna; dinutokam ti pagpatinggaanna a saanna a mabalin a labsan.

if even his life should be [but] one day upon the earth: and his months are numbered by him: you have appointed [him] for a time, and he shall by no means exceed [it].

6 Iyadayom iti panagkitam kenkuana tapno makainana isuna, tapno maragragsakna ti aldawna a kas maysa a natangdanan a tao no maaramidna ti kasta.

Depart from him, that he may be quiet, and take pleasure in his life, [though] as a hireling.

7 Adda ti namnama iti kayo; no mapukan daytoy, mabalin nga agrusing manen, a saanto nga agsardeng ti naganus a sangana.

For there is hope for a tree, even if it should be cut down, [that] it shall blossom again, and its branch shall not fail.

8 Uray no matangkenan ti ramutna iti daga, ken matay ti puonna iti daga,

For though its root should grow old in the earth, and its stem die in the rock;

9 ngem uray makaangot laeng daytoy iti danum, agsaringitto daytoy ken agsanga a kas iti mula.

it will blossom from the scent of water, and will produce a crop, as one newly planted.

10 Ngem matay ti tao; kumapsot isuna; pudno nga agsardeng nga aganges ti tao, ket sadino ti ayanna?

But a man that has died is utterly gone; and when a mortal has fallen, he is no more.

11 Kas ti panagawan ti danum iti dan-aw ken kas iti panagpukaw ken panagmaga ti danum iti karayan,

For the sea wastes in [length of] time, and a river fails and is dried up.

12 kasta met ti panagidda dagiti tattao ken saanen a bumangon manen. Agingga nga awanen dagiti langit, saandanto nga agriing wenno mariing iti pannaturogda.

And man that has lain down [in death] shall certainly not rise again till the heaven be dissolved, and they shall not awake from their sleep.

13 O, nga ilemmengnak koma idiay sheol nga adayu manipud kadagiti riribuk, ken idulinnak iti nalimed agingga a malpas ti pungtotmo, a tudingannak iti maysa a nadutokan a tiempo nga agtalinaed sadiay ket lagipennak! (Sheol h7585)

For oh that you had kept me in the grave, and had hidden me until your wrath should cease, and you should set me a time in which you would remember me! (Sheol h7585)

14 No matay ti tao, agbiagto aya manen? No kasta, tarigagayak nga urayen amin a pakabannogak sadiay agingga nga umay ti pannakawayawayak.

For if a man should die, shall he live [again], having accomplished the days of his life? I will wait till I exist again?

15 Umawagkanto, ket sungbatanka. Agtarigagaykanto kadagiti trabaho dagiti imam.

Then shall you call, and I will listen to you: but do not you reject the work of your hands.

16 Bilangen ken imdengamto dagiti addangko; saanmonto a kankanayon a siputan ti basolko.

But you have numbered my devices: and not one of my sins shall escape you?

17 Maidulinto dagiti basbasolko iti maysa a supot; kallubamto dagiti kinadakesko.

An you have sealed up my transgressions in a bag, and marked if I have been guilty of any transgression unawares.

18 Ngem uray dagiti banbantay ket agriggaay ken agbalin nga awan mamaayna; uray dagiti batbato ket maiyakar kadagiti ayanda;

And verily a mountain falling will utterly be destroyed, and a rock shall be worn out of its place.

19 runoten dagiti danum dagiti batbato; iyanod ti panaglayusda ti tapuk ti daga. Kas iti daytoy, dadaelem dagiti namnama ti tao.

The waters wear the stones, and waters falling headlong [overflow] a heap of the earth: and you destroy the hope of man.

20 Kankanayonmo a parmeken isuna, ket aglabas isuna; baliwam ti rupana ken papanawem tapno matay isuna.

You drive him to an end, and he is gone: you set your face against him, and send him away;

21 Maidaydayaw dagiti annakna a lallaki, ngem saanna nga ammo daytoy; mabalin a maipababada, ngem saanna a makita a mapasamak daytoy.

and though his children be multiplied, he knows [it] not; and if they be few, he is not aware.

22 Mariknana laeng ti ut-ot ti bukodna a bagi, ken agladingit isuna para iti bagina.

But his flesh is in pain, and his soul mourns.
